Started at the pick nick area off Dripping Springs Road at 5400'. I rememeber next to no elevation loss over most of this aside from near the top. I tossed in an extra hundred feet, but 9,000' - 5,400' +100' is 3,700. I can't see how 4,500' is the official AEG. We need another GPS track to get a better idea. I feel confident in my AEG, but would not feel OK posting over 4,000'.

Anyway, the hardest part about this was paying to park. It's a great hike and a new favorite. I don't know what I liked best, the views, the hike, or the area. It is different from Arizona and way drier, but there are still some trees and oaks. The rock is great. This hike only make me want to do more in the Organ Mountain. I really think the Organs are the best range in southern New Mexico.
